Rashid Khan made a huge impact at Sussex Sharks, taking 17 wickets in 11 T20 Blast games. Sussex have re-signed Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan for the first half of the 2019 Twenty20 Blast group stage. After initially signing a deal for the first half of this year's group stage, Rashid extended his stay after pulling out of the Caribbean Premier League. The 19-year-old took 17 wickets at an average of 14.35 to help Sussex to a first quarter-final since 2015. "I'm jumping for joy at the prospect of having Rashid back for us next year," said Sussex head coach Jason Gillespie.
